Thanks for you advice, here is the result:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
ANALYSIS:
This hardware has NO accelerated OpenGL support whatsoever (bad news). 
If the hardware is indeed 3D capable, you will need to obtain OpenGL drivers from your vendor.
This hardware has no sufficient depth buffer support (bad news). 
A depth buffer of at least 16 bit is required by Tea.
This hardware has NO stencil buffer support (bad news). 
Stencil buffer support is required by Tea.

SUMMARY: This system should be capable of running Tea just fine.

Tea is really slow. I have a compaq pressario with a cyberblade3d gfx card.
I will check if I could find any drivers.

Thanks,
Alexandre
